Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 389 385. Comment on the Willow Bank Flowers
Hello everyone, I am Cang Yiwei.

The author I want to visit today is Liu'an Hua Youming.

He is the third author I visited.

【About the Author】

He currently has only one book to his name: "I Really Don't Want to Be Reborn."

His previous book, "Big Times 1994," is no longer available. A wealthy real estate tycoon unexpectedly reborn in 1994, Xiong Baizhou rose from humble beginnings in this turbulent era, witnessing the world's most brilliant moments and, despite countless setbacks, retaining his heroic spirit. This book's initial pre-order was only 490, and it became a masterpiece in just six months. I didn't dare ask why it disappeared.

"I Really Don't Want to Be Reborn", I have recommended this book at least 10 times on various major platforms.

This book was put on the shelves on August 16, 2019, with an initial order of 9000. Currently, it has 860,000 collections on Qidian, 120,000 collections in the bookstore, 194 million fans, 264 alliance leaders, 16 silver alliance members, and 2 gold alliance members.

本书2019年8月17日达成精品，9月2日荣耀一星，11月3日荣耀二星，2020年3月30日荣耀三星，4月2日万订，8月18日荣耀四星。

Judging from the data alone, this book is a benchmark work in the urban genre. As for the content, simply put, it's the pinnacle of the "scumbag genre." For a more detailed explanation, you can search through some of my previous posts. In short, it's a universal hit, suitable for all ages and genders, a truly exceptional work!
Okay, let’s see how Lao Liu answers the questions I asked.

Interview details

Question 1: What is the origin of your pen name?
Willow bank flowers bloom again: behind the dark willows, there is another village with bright flowers.

Question 2: Who first drew you into the online literature world? Or who was your mentor?

Liu An Hua You Ming: "Zhu Xian" and "The Best Butler".

Question 3: What motivated you to write this new book?
Liu'anhuayouming: Write some stories about the friends around you.

Question 4: What are the most memorable or touching points in the process of writing online articles?

Liu'anhuayouming: Everyone was very understanding when I had back pain or had to work overtime and had to skip updates.

Question 5: Which of your characters do you particularly like and can’t let go of?
The flowers on the willow bank are bright again: Wang Zibo.

Question 6: What advice do you have for new authors? What categories do you recommend for getting started?
Liu'anhuayouming: The appreciation level of Qidian novels is relatively high. War god novels and brainless novels are not popular. They require a certain amount of imagination or profound experience, so when writing a book on Qidian, you should pay attention to accumulation.

I think no matter which category, you must complete a novel of more than one million words.

Question 7: Do you have any favorite authors or works?

Willow Bank Flowers Brighten Again: "Prime Ministers of the World", "The Great Struggle", "Late Ming Dynasty"

Question 8: Do you have any plans for your next work?

Liu'anhuayouming: Not yet.

Question 9: Is there anything you'd like to brag about in your current work? Or could you share your plot ideas?

Liu'anhuayouming: The achievement of this book has already reached the ceiling of the urban rebirth genre. After it is completed, I am confident that it will become a classic urban masterpiece.

Question 10: Do you have any new expectations about the future of online literature?

Liu'anhuayouming: I haven’t thought about it that much for now.

【summary】

It can be seen that he was very pressed for time and his answers were very brief.

But what surprised me was that it was not easy to get an appointment with him.

After all, I'm not a big shot. Authors are generally very busy and rarely take the time to answer a stranger's boring questions.

So I am very grateful that he accepted my brief interview.

In addition, readers who have read his works know that he is a very rigorous author. He regularly summarizes his creative experience every month, reviews the content of each month, and carefully sorts out the plot for the next stage.

It can be said that the boasts he made in his previous monthly summaries are slowly being fulfilled one by one.

This is obvious to all readers.

He said he wanted to write a landmark work in the urban genre, and he has achieved it. Many people read this book repeatedly, even if they don't read it from the beginning.

Although the title "I Really Didn't Want to Be Reborn" seems too straightforward and lacks much substance, this type of title has been a popular naming strategy since last year, and it's surprisingly effective.

For example, "I really don't want to be famous", "I'm really not the son of luck", "I really don't want to be a savior", "I don't really want to cause trouble", etc.

The titles of the books are all of this kind of simple, straightforward, and useless type.

I remember when I first read the novel, I was completely captivated by the protagonist's sophisticated scumbag skills in the first chapter. The woman, deeply struggling with urban desires, was nothing more than a skeleton in front of him, and she was blown away by a light blow. And the protagonist was instantly blown away.

The story begins with a very traditional car accident, and the high school campus life passes by in the blink of an eye. It was thought that the protagonist would go to buy stocks to take off, but what he was thinking about was how to complete the imperfect and dissolute life in his previous life.

Thus, a whole set of love manuals slowly emerged from between his fingers, including the training record of the scumbag Chen Hansheng, the demise record of the scumbag Huang Hui, the growth record of the love novice Wang Zibo, the transformation history of the most beautiful white moonlight Xiao Rongyu, the care record of the simple, weak, helpless and tolerant treasure girl Shen Youchu, and so on, a series of lingering, sad, turbulent and bizarre youth campus love stories, began.

The love story, which is not very popular but is thrilling and always on the readers' minds, is so exciting that it makes people wonder whether the protagonist's extreme and exaggerated operation is due to his long life or too selfishness. Letting go is also a kind of relief.

The career line of this book starts with the extremely real and common industry of campus express delivery. I believe that many universities have such a group of people, who either run a small shop or sell phone cards in the dormitory, or are actually engaged in express delivery.

In Jianye, there is a concentration of colleges and universities and a large student population, which indeed provides this industry with unlimited possibilities to grow bigger and stronger.

The protagonist made his fortune in express delivery, then collapsed, experiencing the true nature of human nature and concealing his edge. When he quietly rose through the ranks of the MP4 industry, he again mastered the art of deception and experienced reality. As for his subsequent rise to the top in the mobile phone industry, it was merely a matter of washing away the prosperity and presenting the golden brilliance to everyone.

His deeper purpose was to find a perfect solution when an SSR-level Shura Field appeared, allowing him to have the best of both worlds. To see if all seven had been gathered, check out the count.

The author has a serious job, but he is willing and able to share the stories of himself and the people around him for everyone to read. He simply wants to serve as a negative example, telling everyone to cherish the people around you. Real life will not give you a second chance, so don't leave any regrets.

He made the "渣男文学" (scumbag article) sound like a philosophical article, but at the same time he advised those who followed the trend not to be too blind, because this type of article is not easy to write at all.

I believe that he will definitely become a legend next year with this book.

This book will surely go down in the history of urban classification.

Finally, thank you again, Lao Liu, for accepting my interview.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

I was inexplicably happy to be able to hook up with this author whom I like very much.

I'm so happy that I was able to maintain perfect attendance today, so that half a month's hard work didn't go to waste.

That’s all for today.

Looking forward to the next author of bullshit being dragged into the water by me and rubbing it~
